How long will it take to see results from kettlebell training?

Answer 1

That depends a lot from what you do with the kettlebell.

I didn't see any results in 5 years before I shifted from kettlebell training to kettlebell lifting. Then it took 2 weeks, and since then, it's been every week (for over 2 years now).

Answer 2

This really depends on a few variables -

Your goals - fat loss, strength, size, cardio

How frequently you train and for how long

The intensity you are able to work at

How techncially proficeint your movements are

If you goals are weght loss and general fitness you can expect to see results within a few weeks.

If you are after size and strength from kettlebells then I recommend a barbell and powercage for compound lifts to get you the right foundations to use heavier kettlebells confidently in the future.

If you are after general fitness and weight loss then a good intro article is here -
